  3. The problem with rail is ... on Rethinking Rail Travel: Boarding a Moving Train · · Score: -1

    Populations tend to move, making a FIXED rail system redundant or useless in a few years, then the rail needs to be re-routed at huge cost. New right-of-ways need to be aquired etc. A Bus line is smarter EVERY TIME! Anyone who believes different is an idiot. End of story.

  15. Prices on ISPs 'Exaggerate the Cost of Data' · · Score: -1

    Where I am the 'business' model is exactly what the 'home' model is, except businesses pay twice the price for the identical service.

    There needs to be a standard package for all users. Businesses just pass the extra cost to their consumers.

    I hate mandated stuff, but the US is becoming an Internet third world. I would settle for 40 Mbsec in both directions.
    South Korea, Sweden, Norway and many other countries have superior speeds to most of the US. WTF?
    Spend the money you ISP's, we ALWAYS want more and faster. Get a clue.

    "Most of my interactions with police officers have left me with the impression that in terms of legal knowledge, they are laymen who took a symester of criminal law at the local community college." Agreed. Mostly they are former military police with no social skills and a Gestapo mentality.
    Prior military police expierence should be used to exclude these people from law enforcement.

  25. Teach them as if it were what it is on How Do You Explain Software Development To 2nd Graders? · · Score: 0

    A recipe. Algorithms are recipes to perform some function.
    The peanut butter and jelly sandwich example would work.
    It can break the ice as to how to think. Remember to touch on definitions and types.
    def fridge_door
    def bread_wheat
    def bread_white etc.
    There are many variables in making
    a PBJ sandwich. Perhaps making a bread sandwich would be easier. But the recipe concept is a good basis for starting such thinking skills.
